Business Challenge

TOPEX’s Bytton 3G voice and data router is a professional multitasking device that offers a voice line and internet access for local computer networks, cabled or wireless. Because of the worldwide shift toward mobile office environments across industries, TOPEX’s Bytton router needed to be fully mobile and provide internet access in remote areas where alternative landline connection, such as cable or DSL, was not a viable option. Seasonal and temporary events, such as festivals, sporting competitions, trade shows, and exhibitions, also demanded a data transmission solution that was portable and quick to deploy, without the added cost of landline installation, setup and termination fees.

Sierra Wireless AirPrime Solution

Sensing a special interest in the HSDPA standard by global Mobile Operators, TOPEX collaborated with Sierra Wireless on the inclusion of the company’s 3G embedded modules in TOPEX’s Bytton router. The current Bytton router for HSUPA networks enables mobile data uplinks at speeds of up to 1.44 Mbps. Users can access the 3G broadband mobile data services at speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps across all 3G networks and enjoy enhanced services and a better communication experience.
